Out on the Cutting Edge

A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel, Book 7

By: Lawrence Block

Narrated by: Dan Butler

This is a city that seduces dreamers - then eats their dreams.

Matthew Scudder understands the futility of his search for a longtime missing Midwestern innocent who wanted to be an actress in the vast meat-grinder called New York City. But her frantic father heard that Scudder is the best, and now the ex-cop turned private investigator is scouring the hell called Hell's Kitchen looking for anything that might resemble a lead. And in this neighborhood of the lost, he's finding love - and death - in the worst possible places.

Very Good Mystery

I enjoyed the tempo of the story and the main character. I picked it because it is a detective mystery and that Dan Butler did the performance. He's great. one thing I didn't like was the confession part be ause I prefer the detective to find the clues to solve the crime. The ending was surprising.

another great mystery

I do really love these Matthew Scudder books. you get a look into what life might have been like in the 80s in New York City.

An amazing story by Block.

Finally a narration that does justice to the character of Matthew Scudder and the incredible writing of Block. Every book just gets better.

I used to like these books

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

If you want to know all about AA this is the book for you.

If you’ve listened to books by Lawrence Block before, how does this one compare?

This book is my least favorite of his books. I don't thing I will buy another. Good luck with Aa

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Over all its fine.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No, I don't like have AA and other drugs shoved down my through.

Another good mystery.

I really enjoyed this one and I'm looking forward to the next. I wasn't able to guess the ending, and that's not a bad thing.
